Most people who've never seen one in person have no idea HOW BIG these things get, or that they're just SITTING THERE in the most normal looking not-very-deep American ponds and wetlands. They've been weighed up to 350-400lbs, and can live for a century. True giants 🙏🫡

Thassa snappin turla!

There are no dry-cooled commercial nuclear power stations on the planet that I'm aware of. There are gas-cooled reactors, 4 of which still operate in the UK, but that's just the immediate core cooling circuit. Ultimate waste heat disposal from those is by water cooling — seawater in each case.

So yes. you’re right! It would be very difficult to replace what NOAA does with a distributed network of weather geeks (complimentary). But if we did build it like that, it would be much harder for fascists to come in and dictate it out of existence

the same idea can be used for a pufferfox variation where there can be a pufferfox species that can metabolize oil and plastic from oil spills and pollution, where the food source for the fox is trash and stuff and they can eat crude oil from oil spills in affected areas and clean up the waste good.

This evening for #HotDocs25, I watched "How Deep Is Your Love". That film shows some awesome footage of deep sea creatures while highlighting the concerns with deep sea mining, Greenpeace activists, and international sea treaty negotiations. Rated it a 5/5. #cdnpoli

Ctenophore of some sort, Anilao. Maybe Ocyropsis sp.? #MarineLife #Blackwater #Invertefest
A winged ctenophore. The oral lobes (which are used for swimming and feeding) are visible to each side of the body
